Design

as in design research and futures thinking, with emphasis on the participatory aspect.

It is also a way to create products for consumption or a way to create user-centred services - to keep "users" engaged in allowable behaviours, for many reasons including safety. What if design is used to facilitate people to explore possibilities?
